Mixed praise for Ukrainian IT talent came during an Artificial Intelligence panel, sponsored by ICU investment bank. Great computer skills are not matched by marketing skills, said Alexandra Johnson, a northern California venture capitalist who runs Global Technology Capital. “If you do not teach entrepreneurship, how to get to the market, your idea will remain dormant,” she said. Giles Farley, co-head of ICU’s Venture and Tech Investments, said: “I am told again and again that Ukrainian software engineers are incredibly creative, brilliant, but hard to manage.” Imtiaz Adam, CEO of London’s Deep Learn Strategies, said he has hired software engineers in Lviv and Kharkiv and “may open an office in Kyiv.”
